so what is obama's dream? what motivates obama? one way to ask that is to ask if obama's dream the american dream? is that martin luther king's dream? or is it something else? is it the american dream? no. that seems odd to say because obama is an embodiment of the american dream. during the presidential campaign obama's at my store is only possible in america. in that sense using america is unique. and yet in a press conference when obama was in europe he was asked do you believe that america is unique? actually what he was asked if you believe in american exceptionalism, american exceptionalism is the academic word for american uniqueness. american is exceptional. it is not like any other place. the founder certainly believed america was unique. they called america a new order for the ages. so obama was asked do you believe in american exceptionalism, and obama said no. i don't believe america is a more exceptional than greece or britain or anyplace else. so in a sense obama was rejecting, at least the sake of american uniqueness

was that obama's failure? a lack of political skill, perhaps, though it is equally likely that the currents were stronger than one person could shift. in recent years, america has gone through enormous economic, technological, political and cultural changes and some parts of the country, there has been a backlash to that change and to an african-american president. it remains unclear whether the country was ready for obama's vision. the most dramatic bet he made was health care. he spent the first few years of his presidency and all his political capital on passing it, and i would argue even if trump finds a way to repeal and replace it, remains a historic achievement. obama did what seven presidents failed to do. he made health care a fundamental right. it is the signature achievement of a consequential president. but presidential legacies also exist above and beyond laws and policies. we remember john f. kennedy for energy, vitality, elegance and intelligence he brought to the white house. and in that sense,
